BRISBANE coach Craig Starcevich is confident Taylor Smith will be good to go for the Grand Final after the tall forward was hobbled by an ankle injury in Friday night's preliminary final triumph over Adelaide.

Forgotten forward Zimmie Farquharson could also come into calculations for the decider after Starcevich confirmed she had overcome a broken finger and is available for selection.

The Lions' mentor was thrilled with his team's 23-point win over the Crows at Metricon Stadium, saying the excitement in the group was "enormous" as they prepared to face either Melbourne or North Melbourne.

"They’ve worked so hard to get to this point," Starcevich said.

"We’ve played 25, 26 games this year so it's been a pretty big year of footy.

"It would have been really disappointing tonight not to get this one out of the way and get to the next one and give yourself a chance of having a crack at winning it."

It will be Brisbane's fourth Grand Final in seven seasons, made all the more sweet by Friday's announcement it would be held at their new $80 million Brighton Homes Arena.

Starcevich said Smith should be fine to take her place after the left footer was assisted from the field just before quarter-time.

She returned to play out the match, clearly hobbled, playing close to goal for the final three quarters.

"It's only a minor tweak," Starcevich said.

"To plant her in the goalsquare to absorb a few minutes while we rested Tahlia (Hickie) was the main aim of tonight.

"The physios and docs are saying in a couple of days she'll be good to go again.

"She's sprained that one before and we've had similar outcomes and this will be no different, hopefully.

"She's done it that often, she knows what the rehab looks like and generally gets back out the next week."

Farquharson has not played since fracturing her finger in round seven against North Melbourne, but is available again.

"She did some match practice with us last Friday night and a little bit of training on Tuesday and we just didn't think that was enough for a game like tonight.

"She's still sitting there, still well in calculations, but that's her status at the moment."

Adelaide coach Matthew Clarke said he was disappointed in the result, particularly conceding four goals in the match-defining second quarter.

Clarke said in some ways it summed up the season.

"We're really disappointed, but the reality of our season is that we haven't been as consistent as we were last season," he said.

"I'm proud we stuck at it. The turnover of five players (in the off-season) is not insignificant.

"We had our challenges across the way. to fight on to this opportunity, we're pleased with that."
